أرز

Arabic edit

أرز (شجرة) on Arabic Wikipedia

Etymology 1 edit

The tree is native to the region north of Israel and Judea. Borrowed into Arabic and Ge'ez አርዝ (ʾärz) and before the pertinent vowel change into Hebrew אֶרֶז (ʾérez, “cedar”) from Aramaic אַרְזָא / ܐܪܙܐ (ʾarzā, “cedar”), also found in Ugaritic 𐎀𐎗𐎇 (ảrz, “cedar”), continuing Akkadian 𒄑𒂞 (^GIŠERIN /⁠erēnu, erinnu⁠/) from Sumerian 𒄑𒂞 (^GIŠERIN /⁠eren⁠/), which also passed into Hittite 𒄑𒂞 (^GIŠERIN /⁠herin(a)-⁠/, “cedar”) and also Hurrian 𒄑𒂊𒊑𒅎𒁉 (^GIŠe-ri-im-bi /⁠erimbi⁠/), 𒄑𒂊𒊑𒁉 (^GIŠe-ri-bi /⁠eribi⁠/, “cedar”) and thence back into a Hittite alternative form. While Rabin argues for a Hittite origin of the word, the form ʾarz recalls Proto-Iranian *hampr̥sā (“juniper”), which is not remote in meaning – Ancient Greek κέδρος (kédros) also means both cedar and juniper.

  وقال غيره يتخذ لها الخلايا من خشب الأرز ومن طين طيب الريح وتطين الخلايا من خارجها برماد وأخثاء البقر مدقوق معجون بالماء ويتخذ لها بعض الناس الخلايا من قشور الشبر وتسميه العامة «جناحا»
  And another author said that for beehives cedar wood and clay of good smell is taken and the beehives are daubed from the outside with ash and cow dung powdered and kneaded with water, and some people take for beehives the barks of the cork oak, generally called “wings”.
